OIL STOVE AND HEATER.

Application filed January 29, 1927. Serial No. 164,570.

One object of the invention is to provide novel means for raising thechimney of an oil stove. Another object of the invention is so toconstruct an oil stove that it can be used for cooking, heating water,and the like.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve'generally and toenhance the utility of devices of that type to which the inventionappertainsk Wit-h the above and other objects in view which will appearas the description proceeds, the invention resides inthe combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within thescope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of theinvention. I a

In the drawings I Figure 1 shows in longitudinal section, a deviceconstructed in accordance with the invention, parts being in elevation;

Figure 2 is a cross section on the line 2 2 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a fragmentallongitudinal section wherein the device isviewed about at right angles to the showing of Figure 1.

The oil stove forming the subject matter of this application comprises abase 1 carrying a font 2, the wick tube being denoted by the numeral 3,the wick appearing at 4, and any suitable means 5 being provided forraising and lowering the wick. The filling means for the font 2is shownat 6. A drum 7 rests on the'base 1 and has air inlet openings 8, thedrum 7 being equipped with a movable door 9. Guide rods 10 are mountedon the font 2 or elsewhere. A chimney 11 is mounted to move verticallyabout the wick tube 8. The chimney 11 carries oppositely disposedU-shaped brackets 12 which are slidably mounted on the guide rods 10; Abearing 14 is erected on the font 2; In the bearing 14, a substantiallyhorizontal shaft 15 is mounted to rock, the shaft 15be-' ing supplied atits outer end with a handle 16 which is accessible when the door 9 isopened, the shaft 15 being equipped at its inner end with a curved arm17 adapted to ride beneath the lower end of the chimney 11.

The operator can open the door 7, and rotate the shaft 15 by means ofthe handle 16, the arm 17 raising the chimney 11 into the positionvshown in Figure 1, the chimney remaining in that position whilst thewick 4 is being lighted. After the lighting has been accomplished, theshaft 15 can be rotated again so that the arm 17 will lower. thechimney. The chimney 11 has right-line movement, because the brackets 12are mounted slidably upon the guide rods 10.

On the upper end of the drum 7, a ring 18 is seated, and within the ringis held removably a. grate 19. The grate 19 is used for cooking articlesin a. skillet, and for many other like purposes which will suggest themselves readily to a housewife.

When it is desired to boil water, cook vegetables, and the like, asupplemental drum 20 is used, the same having handles 21, whereby it maybe manipulated conveniently. Some persons prefer to remove the grate 19before the drum 20 is mounted inplace, but others, with a view tosavingtime, simply place the supplemental drum on the grate 19. Thebottom of the supplemental drum 20 is formed by a spider 22 including acentral hub 23 and arms 24, the arms 24: being secured at 25 to the drum20. The spider 22 supports a pot 26, located withinthe supplemental drum20, the said drum being surmounted by aremovable lid 27. It is clearthat water may be boiled in the pot 26, and that vegetables may becooked therein. The device forming the subject matter of thisapplication embodies a stove on which frying or boiling can be carriedout without difficulty. The article has practically all of theadvantages of a cook stove, but is so constructed that it will detractlittle or nothing from the appearance of the apartment wherein it isused.

. What isclaimed is:
